00:00Hello there. With a mixture of sunshine and showers, Saturday is going to be a great day

00:04for hunting down those pots of gold at the end of a rainbow. It's all because low pressure

00:09is the main driver of our weather at the moment and we've got this occluded front which is

00:13gradually moving eastwards across the country. As we start off Saturday afternoon that will

00:18be across southwestern areas into central England and then swinging back across Scotland

00:23as well, potentially bringing some more persistent spells of rain here. Showers developing behind

00:27this and these could be heavy at times, maybe with an isolated rumble of thunder. More prolonged

00:33sunny intervals in the south east of England providing a relatively pleasant day and it's

00:37here where we'll see temperatures climb the most but feeling that bit cooler across western

00:41areas underneath the clouds and rain. As we move into Saturday evening that front will

00:46continue its way eastwards, so east Anglia down into south east England now seeing some

00:51spots of rain. Some drier and clearer intervals developing across other areas of England and

00:57Wales whereas we'll see further patchy rain pushing its way into Northern Ireland and

01:01Scotland. Temperatures generally staying around double figures for most but underneath some

01:06of those clearer intervals across England we might see rural spots getting down into

01:10mid single figures. But generally not too chilly of a start to Sunday morning and the

01:16rain now pushing its way into Wales and northwest England and showers developing over the course

01:21of the day. These could be again heavy at times. The main focus of these across central

01:26areas to begin but pushing their way eastwards into the afternoon so Northern Ireland, Wales

01:31and southwest England actually turning drier later on. Temperatures relatively similar

01:36to Saturday peaking in the south east and turning cooler as you head northwest particularly

01:41with some breezy winds developing here as well. Into next week though it's an improving

01:45picture for the south and east turning relatively dry but we do still have the risk of some

01:50spells of rain in the north and west. But to keep up to date with all of that and the

01:55gradual increase in temperatures make sure you're following us on social media and we'll

01:58see you soon. Bye bye.
